How secure are online statements?
When your online statements are available for viewing, Bank of the West will send a notification to the email you registered with Online Banking. This email will not contain any account numbers or other personal information, nor will it request for you to provide any account numbers or other personal information. When you sign on to Online Banking, you are signing on to a secure web site. Your account information is protected by 128-bit encryption technology. When signing on to Online Banking, remember to always look for your Security Image and Phrase before entering your password. Your Security Image is an online security feature and a standard part of your Online Banking login experience. Your Security Image helps prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and provides reassurance that you are visiting the official Bank of the West web site..
